    Jobless rate fell 0.2 percentage points in 2018 to 5.6%, the lowest level since comparable data became available in 1976. Canada added 163,300 net new jobs last year and saw an increase in full-time employment, though the pace of growth was slower than previous years.

        That's funny, because a prominent lawyer just told me that the legal job market is the worst he has ever seen. Are your stats are flawed? #Canada

        I wonder too. Maybe these new jobs are coming in technology fields etc but students I know who have graduated with non-software engineering degrees are not having any success finding jobs in their field and are underemployed. They are not limiting their search radius either.

        Their appears to be a vast chasm between our government marketing of feel good job stats and what a Canadian sees first hand when they open their front door.

        Shouldn't a chasm exist between statistics garnered from statisticians and anecdotal reports based on a prominent lawyer's impression or the public opening their collective front doors to gather information??

        Actually, no. It is accepted (and in fact taught in logic) that statistics promoted by the media (and in this case, the government media) are to be approached with extreme caution. That is, alleged stats served up from a Crown agency are presumed flawed until proven otherwise.

        I wasn't saying stats should be accepted without perspective or researching the source. You noted a "vast chasm" between stats and anecdotal opinion. I simply was trying to point out that's an expected chasm. Anecdotal "evidence" is not science or logic; just stories.

        The purported 'statistics' served by the government media are themselves anecdotal. But because this opinion is published by the same organization who makes policy for us, it is far less reliable than the personal experiences of average Canadians.

        No, they're not. Anecdotal by definition is based on personal testimony or a "gut feeling." The numbers presented by Statistics Canada are based on surveys by people trained to compile numbers. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/190104/dq190104a-eng.htm?HPA=1 …

        Ok @CBCNews @CBCAlerts let’s dig deeper into the numbers please. They are low paying jobs that are not keeping up with inflation. This is not the great news you are trying to portray. Are you reporting news or are you the governing party’s propaganda machine ?

        Engineering grads driving for Skip the Dishes isn’t a win. Communication grads working a call center job same. Software grads and Accountants seem to find plenty of work but many, many others are well under-employed.

        8 of the 10 CBC board members are Harper appointees. Now, do we have to explain how Crown Corporations operate completely independent of any government. Chrétien hated the CBC, but had no influence over its programming.

        If you want me to believe that the Liberals have no influence, we can discuss. If you want me to believe that the CBC is not biased, I’m not having it.

        The CBC does have a left-of-center bias. A reflection of the common demographic bias of Canadians and the CBCs audience. You may not like the fact that Canadians are generally biased left-of-centre, but it's a fact.
